Rebirth: chronicles a woman's experience with Leukemia....through chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant, heartbreak, loss, and also spiritual, emotional and physical rebirth.
"One
day after my leukemia diagnosis I decided that I was going to take a
dreadful situation and turn it into something positive," said Ludwig.
"One of those decisions was to write a book that would be helpful to
other cancer survivors and their loved ones going through similar
circumstances." says Deborah
"Rebirth" is Ludwig's
year-long journal chronicling a story of love, sacrifice, heartache and
discovery that culminated in her physical, emotional and spiritual
rebirth.
Cancer is such a dislocating experience. We feel alone, alienated and lost. Any sense of security is just gone. A personal story like Deborah's can really help us through our own experience. It can lessen our sense of anomie and isolation.
A portion of Rebirth's royalties will be donated to Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
If you've recently been diagnosed, get a personal experience book like Ludwig's. You can also go to my coping resources page. I have other personal experience books listed here
